Paris – Bar & Restaurant Recommendations

June 22, 2017 No Comments

[París – Recomendaciones de Bares & Restaurantes] One of the most dreadful things for me when visiting a new city is finding where to eat or have drinks. I want the BEST, but I hate looking. I want to recommend to you all the Swarm App, I love this app because you can check-in to all the places you go to, and this way they’ll always be saved on your profile, and it’s connected to FourSquare. After having visited Paris many times and since I moved to France, I have a pretty good list of my favorite Paris – bar & restaurant recommendations, I hope you like it!

Vietnam Food Diary

June 1, 2017 No Comments

[Diario de Comida, Vietnam] The smell and colors of Asian food cannot be compared to others. And Vietnam is not the exception. When we arrived to the hotel, the first thing we did was look for a place to eat. And right next to our hotel, there was a small Bun Bo Nam Bo restaurant, maybe the best in the world (it was that delicious!). A Hanoi beer, and one of these bowl of noodles… nothing better to start this trip throughout Northern Vietnam. Enjoy my Vietnam food diary!

Shanghai, Food Diary [Diario de Comida, Shanghai]

March 23, 2017 No Comments

Asian food has always captivated me, since I was a little girl my parents used to take my sister and I to a Chinese restaurant in Medellín, going there used to be like a price for us. Ever since, I took a real pleasure in these unique flavors, and well going to China and having the opportunity to taste its gastronomy was a delight.

Christmas in France [Navidad en Francia]

December 29, 2016 No Comments

Since I’m used to spending Christmas in Medellín or Texas, Christmas in France is… a cold one. But only in temperature, since like in many places, Christmas transforms cities and the spirit of its people. Cities seem to be a little louder and warmer than normal.

Bilbao, Basque Country [País Vasco]

October 28, 2016 No Comments

A major city in the autonomous community of the basque Country and the city of pintxos! When we arrived to Bilbao we didn’t have an exact plan on what to do, besides the Guggenheim Museum. And that is exactly what I love about Spain, you don’t really need to do a lot planning… just pack your bags and go. The rest just happens!

Sin City, Vegas [La Ciudad del Pecado, Las Vegas]

Anyone said bachelorette party? Last march one of my best friends got married, and to celebrate we decided to go to the “Sin City,” Las Vegas, Nevada. Nine girls ready to enjoy a weekend in one of the party capitals of the world. So we packed our bags for a long weekend trip and got on that plane! Like good Colombians, we made sure that this trip paid off in fun and money. We stayed at The venetian hotel, where we reserved 2 rooms for the 9 of us and were lucky enough to have them be conjoined rooms. The rooms were super big, we could have easily fit 3 more people in each!

Bali, Food Diary [Diario de Comida]

If you’re like me…you eat through your eyes ! And the flavors, scents, and colors of the Balinese gastronomy are amazing. One of the things that I enjoy the most when traveling is tasting the typical food and drinks of each place.
